Maryknoll Sisters live the gospel values through a variety of ministries. We are engaged in evangelization, pastoral work, education and social welfare, medicine, communications, agriculture and science. We serve the poor wherever we find them: in their homes, in prisons, in hospitals, in refugee camps, and on the streets. Some of us work with youth groups, women and the elderly, and in the arts and communications. Others promote and participate in ecumenical and interfaith dialogue. Often we find ourselves networking with national and international non‑governmental organizations. Wherever we are and in whatever we do, we strive to participate effectively in the mission presence and activity of the Universal Church so that God's Reign of peace, justice and love may be proclaimed and witnessed to throughout the world. Mission means seeding hope wherever we are.
